------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-17-09 21:48 ------- Is this a clue? I saw this right after I had rm -rf /dev/lirc and then mknod /dev/lirc c 61 0 Sep 17 14:43:43 frontend devfsd[98]: error calling: "unlink" in "GLOBAL" Sep 17 14:43:43 frontend last message repeated 3 times Sep 17 14:43:56 frontend devfsd[98]: error copying: "/dev/lirc" to "/lib/dev-state/lirc" Sep 17 14:44:07 frontend devfsd[98]: error copying: "/dev/lirc" to "/lib/dev-state/lirc" [EMAIL PROTECTED] dev-state]# cd lirc [EMAIL PROTECTED] lirc]# ls -l total 12 drwxr-xr-t 2 root root 4096 Aug 4 23:49 0/ drwxr-xr-t 2 root root 4096 Aug 4 23:49 61/ drwxr-xr-t 2 root root 4096 Aug 4 23:49 c/ I don't know where the above came from, but I'm assuming that's where the bad device is coming from. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEEDINFO creation_date: description: Running lirc0.7.0pre2 (self compiled because it's not in contrib) to support Hauppauge PVR-250 remote. lirc_i2c is the device driver.

According to the lirc0.7.0pre2 docs, the correct device would be created with mknod /dev/lirc c 61 0
